I debated giving this review 4 stars but simply couldn’t bring myself to do so based on my own inadequacies. I’ll explain:
The quality of machining of this product and the quality of materials used is second to none. I have no doubt about the quality of sound suppression should I ever be able to fully complete my form 1.
Unfortunately, even with the drill jig and provided bit, it’s not quite as easy as I’ll just drill this and go shoot. At least not for me, a non-machinist, and probably not for the majority of people who would buy this kit.
With my hand drill I just managed to punch through the first baffle when the bit caught on the edges of the half punched baffle due to lack of torque in the drill and I had to give up. I then got access to a drill press and made it through the rest of the way. Awesome, this will be easy I thought. I made it half way into the second baffle and the bit just stopped cutting. I pressed forward (my mistake) and the baffle and bit got way too hot. To the point I work hardened the baffle steel. The provided bit was dulled beyond use. I then burned up 2 more bits trying to make it through before doing some research online and realizing none of the equipment I had would turn a slow enough rate to not burn up bits and moving forward with drilling the rest would be futile. So now I’m in the process of trying to get ahold of some carbide and/or more cobalt bits and access to a lathe or some other piece of equipment to drill out these 17-4 steel baffles and complete my legal form 1. Long story short, don’t be like me and assume this will be cake just because you see an easy DIY video online. Do your research and do it right. I’m hoping I don’t have a ruined baffle. You’ll also need more than 1 bit or the ability to sharpen said bit. And don’t run the bits at high speed and smoke them. This 17-4 steel is harder than Superman’s kneecaps but I haven’t accepted defeat… yet…

This thing oozes quality. I’m still waiting on my approved Form 1, but this can arrived today. The workmanship is flawless and it is built like a tank. I mounted it on my rifle and it’s noticeably there, but in a good way. The heft tells me it’s well built, and I’m looking forward to shooting it. If you are looking for an excellent 556/223 can to form 1, this is it!

I purchased this kit to be used on a number of my firearms. Still waiting on my Form 1, but I have received the kit. This thing is built ROCK SOLID! and the quality is unbelievably good. I have complete confidence in utilizing this kit on any of my rifles. I’m always happy to support American businesses who employ average joes like myself and produce excellent products. Will definitely be returning, thanks Quietbore / Creative Arms.
